Owen Hodgson began playing piano way too early in life but, unlike Andrea, was reluctant to demonstrate the fact in public for many years, probably due to being British. He began secretively writing and recording orchestral rock in 1988 as Thinking Aloud. A onetime geologist and now a student of psychology, he’s now based in Scotland. Side projects include So?, a musical collaboration with Canadian singer/songwriter Steve Jones. He’s also produced nearly 300 music videos for various artists.
